A Quote Too Good Not To Share
“The gospel that the first century apostles preached was one of Christ’s lordship and God’s pure and unfailing grace in Him. Paul of Tarsus, for example, did not forge people together with rules, religious duty, or legalism. Instead he preached a gospel of grace so high and so powerful that it kicked down the gates of hell–setting the Jew free of religious duty and the Gentile free of immorality. His was a double-barreled, two-fisted gospel.”
By Frank Viola, Finding Organic Church, p. 29
What does it mean?
I just found this on Alan Hirsch’s blog. My question for you is this: What does the information presented in this video mean for us? What does it mean for us as believers living at the end of the age? How does it change how we perceive and do mission at the end of the age? Can what’s happening all around us further the Jesus movement we’re called into and to extend? What does it mean? And how do you respond?
How You Know You’ve Been Part of a House Church For A While…
We’ve just crossed over the two-year mark with our house church here in Eastern Iowa. Ariel, our daughter was born just a few months before we started meeting together as a church and has grown up largely outside of what is conventianlly understood as a “church.” So how do we know we’ve been in a house church for a while?
The other day my wife was driving through a part of our neighborhood we don’t normally drive by with our kids in the backseat. She passed by a traditional church building with a tall white steeple that looks like it was built in the 30’s or 40’s. My daughter, who is obsessed with everything related to princesses, shouts out, “Look, mommy, CASTLE!”
